Trumps says "Fired," Frenzy says "Hired"

Cape Cod Frenzy News Release


Cape Cod, MA. The ABA Boston Frenzy is announcing a program for college internships for the summer. The program will consist of three teams of three interns each in the following areas: (1) Sales, (2) Marketing and Public Relations, and (3) Basketball Operations. The idea came from watching Donald Trump's famous television show, "The Apprentice" - although the Frenzy will not be seeking to fire anyone during the process!

"Each team will have a leader and be given challenging assignments that will help our team get a foothold in the community, and get the word out," stated Frenzy GM Ian McCarthy. "We already have a database of 200 prospects from a recent Boston Celtics career fair, but we wanted to get the word out to those interested students that didn't attend the career fair and also to let the public know in general that we are a year-round business and we are going to stay active and involved in the community."

The Sales Team will be given the task to develop a Merchandising Program, a Corporate Sales Initiative, and a Season Ticket Holder plan. The Basketball Operations Team will be asked to promote and organize basketball events such as weekend tournaments, kids basketball clinics, and a Frenzy Pro Am Summer League, as well as developing the Gameday Operations routine during the summer and perfect it. The Marketing and Public Relations Team will seek to plan a summer Press Conference/Media Day, improve the website, develop in-season promotions as well as support the other two teams in their endeavors.

Persons interested in volunteering for the teams or for the Frenzy this summer are encouraged to visit www.bostonfrenzy.com or email GM Ian McCarthy at ian@bostonfrenzy.com or visit www.abalive.com.

Note: OurSports Central no longer actively covers the American Basketball Association (ABA) as a professional league due in part to its inability to publish and play a schedule and the transitory nature of many of its teams.
